MOROCCO’S EX-OLYMPIC CHAMP KHALID SKAH ARRESTED IN FRANCE

PARIS: French police on Wednesday arrested Morocco’s former Olympic champion Khalid Skah over an extradition request linked to a fierce custody battle between the athlete and the Norwegian mother of his two children. A source requesting anonymity said the 46-year-old athlete, who won the 10,000 meters at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, was arrested at the Orly airport in Paris. Skah and his ex-wife Anne Cecilie Hopstock have been locked in a six-year-long custody battle.
